Urban sprawl in Elkhart, IN, has encroached on wildlife pests' natural habitats, so city occupants often encounter mice, rats, chipmunks, bats, raccoons, and opossums looking for new homes in residential neighborhoods. To make matters worse, the area's frigid winters push these pests inside manmade buildings where they construct nests in attics, walls, and basements. They also rummage through trash bins, break into pantries to pilfer food, and spread diseases to humans. Additionally, landowners often have to protect their yards and pets from larger pests like coyotes, white-tailed deer, and hawks.

The city of South Bend, IN, enjoys a mild climate with humid spring and summer months. Unfortunately, this environment is perfect for disease-bearing pests like mosquitoes and bats. Mosquitoes breed in pools of standing water and can spread harmful illnesses, while bats are capable of spreading rabies and histoplasmosis.
